What this form is

The form gives the Stowe Cemetery Commission information about the deceased registered owner of burial rights, including the affiant’s relationship to the owner and the owner’s descendants. It also asks whether the owner left the rights by will or other written instrument and, if married, whether a spouse had died earlier. The commission’s form states that it is to be filed with the commission, which may rely on its statements.

Who needs it

An affiant who is an executor, administrator, or relative of a deceased registered burial-rights owner completes this form for the Stowe Cemetery Commission.

Why it needs a notary

The form includes a sworn-to-before-me jurat; the affiant signs the heirs affidavit under oath before the notary, who completes the jurat and commission-expiration line.
